How to limit application windows to only windows in the active desktop/workspace?

In Mission Control, there's the Application windows key-binding setting, which when invoked shows all windows from your current application, across all of your desktops.

Is there a way to somehow limit this to only show the windows that are present on your active desktop? I would appreciated any kind of help. Thanks in Advance.

See all minimized windows in Mission Control. (or any other way) Is there any way of seeing minimized windows on Mission Control? Just switched from Windows 10 and I am used to switch between windows using Alt+Tab even if they are minimized. I minimize windows very often, and can't seem to find a quick way to get back to them other than right clicking on the app icon on the Dock and selecting the window. I really like Mission Control, but I find it strange that you can't see "all" the windows on your computer.

Minimized windows in multiple desktops If I minimize a window on desktop space 1, and then try to reopen in desktop space 4, it will switch back to desktop space 1. Is there a way to avoid this, and have the minimized window open in the space I am currently working in? I already have everything de-selecting in the mission control settings.

How To Hide All Windows/Apps By A Mouse Click (like on a PC)? On all PCs I've used all windows can be conveniently hidden instantly to reveal the desktop just by a single mouse click outside of the current window (or clicking an open space on the Windows desktop). How can this be setup on a mac? It's so annoying having to remember the **** keyboard shortcut to minimize all or hide all and requires too much finger acrobatics when I am able to remember, which is often after trying the incorrect combination first. Clicking outside a window on a mac does nothing and I'm just left with a window that insists on obstructing whatever it is that I need on the desktop. Someone please give me the answer to my prayers and tell me there is an app or way to achieve this on a mac! Merci Beaucoup.

Spaces doesn't really support multiple desktops per app, so I doubt you'll be able to do this.
